  This recipe is brilliant I used mini chicken fillets and had them as nibbles at my Boxing Day party, they went down extremely well. I made them in advance and froze them and they were still delicious.

  I made this for a party and it was delicious. The chicken was so incredibly moist and tender.

  I made this for a lunch following a family funeral. It was a tricky choice because I wanted to do something nice but simple, not showy. I served the chicken with couscous with roast veg and a green salad. Just right. I'm cooking lunch for my team at work tomorrow and doing it again

  This was gorgeous - I ate it hot as soon as it was cooked, will try it cold next time but will take a lot to beat it.

  Delicious - after cooking the chicken and letting it cool I sliced it quite small and then tossed it in with some mixed leaves. Made a lovely salad that everyone enjoyed.

  This was very easy to make and looked impressive served on a platter. Made it for our Village Hall bring and share picnic party on the day of the Royal Wedding. Would definitely make again.

  Easy to make and delicious. I found they took longer to cook than the recipe stated, but left it till they looked right, and that seemed to be OK. I didn't find I needed the whole of the lettuce to serve. Will make it again - maybe try it with turkey for a Christmas buffet.

  Made this for a New Years Eve buffet after all the positive comments. YUCK YUCK YUCK. all it tasted of was lemon, didn't look pretty, and funnily enough remained virtually untouched. Luckily I used up the left over chicken in a chicken and leek pie with bacon which went some way to masking the lemon flavour. Definately won't be doing this again, completely unbalanced flavours.
